On September 28 ILW.COM conducted the first of the three part teleconference seminar "Immigration Implications of September 11th Tragedy". The volunteer speakers provided a wealth of useful information for an audience we estimate at over 1,000 inlcuding listeners in Alaska, Canada, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. As we advised readers in the the September 27, 2001, issue of Immigration Daily people who signed up for the series after approximately 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on Wednesday were unable to participate live in today's session because the telephone service provider could not make sufficient lines available. The people who signed up but were not able to participate in today's teleconference will receive a cassette tape. We were unexpectedly required to leave our offices about ten minutes before the start of the seminar. If you received an e-mail confirmation for the seminar with the phone number and password, and tried to call our offices because you had problems entering the teleconference, we apologize that we were not available. If you received your e-mail confirmation with the phone number and password and were not able to call in, please write to seminars@ilw.com.

Monday, October 1 is the final deadline to sign up for the seminar by Angelo Paparelli and Stephen Yale-Loehr: "On the Cutting Edge: H-1B Practice and Strategy." This phone session will include a discussion of how the tragic events of September 11th affect H-1B matters.

ILW.COM publishes articles on any aspect of immigration law. We encourage the submission of articles from attorneys, paralegals,
professors, scholars, human resource managers and anyone effected by immigration law. We will not publish something we know to be
factually inaccurate. Beyond that, we actively seek a variety of opinions and viewpoints. Articles do not have to be footnoted as
though we were a traditional law journal. The length of an article is best determined by the subject it covers. Some topics can be
covered in a few paragraphs while others may require many pages. An advantage of electronic publishing is the flexibility to carry
articles of any length. With over 8,000 subscribers to the e-mail version having an article published in Immigration Daily is
an economical way to express yourself, share your knowledge, and gain recognition in the field. Send articles in electonic format
to editor@ilw.com or FAX to 212 563-4438.

"Responsibility of Certain Entities To Notify the INS of Illegal Aliens
The INS published a notice in compliance with the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 which requires that certain Federal and State entities, at least four times annually, notify the INS of any alien the entity "knows" is not lawfully present in the US. Under this notice, an entity is not required to make quarterly reports to the INS unless it has knowledge of an individual who is not lawfully present in the US."
